Announcement - New member of The Lawyer Network in Liechtenstein

We are delighted to announce that Andrew Baker of 'Griffin Trust AG' has joined The Lawyer Network. Andrew has joined the network as our exclusive Wealth Planning member in Liechtenstein.

Andrew brings a wealth of experience to the table. As the managing director of Griffin Trust, he has led the company by example for the past 19 years and has a proven track record of developing solutions and setting up structures for global families in the area of tax and estate planning, working in close collaboration with clients' trusted advisors.

After reading modern languages and law at Queens’ College, Cambridge University, he qualified as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales in 1985. He also has a post-graduate Masters degree in Comparative Law from the City of London Polytechnic and a further post-graduate degree in Treuhandwesen (fiduciary profession) from the University of Liechtenstein.

Having worked as a solicitor in London and in the Turks & Caicos Islands, he moved to Liechtenstein in 1992 where he was head of the legal department and later managing director of the specialist trust companies of the Ritter & Partner Group (now known as Kaiser Partner). In 1999 he took over as owner and managing director of Griffin Trust.

Andrew is a member of the Law Society (for solicitors admitted to practise in England and Wales), the Offshore Institute, the International Tax Planning Association and the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, for which he acted as Treasurer of the Swiss and Liechtenstein branch for many years. He is an honorary member of the Association of Fellows and Legal Scholars of the Centre for International Legal Studies and he is also admitted to practise as an attorney-at-law in the Turks and Caicos Islands (but does not currently hold a practising certificate).

He has contributed to publications in various media and has spoken on the subject of trusts and fiduciary services at numerous seminars and as a lecturer at the University of Liechtenstein.
